<p>[QUOTE="eric6794, post: 4659937, member: 76066"]The wife and I took a drive through Amish country in Ohio the other day to go get some fresh Amish goods and decided while we were out to stop at some antique stores. We were only able to stop at one before it got too late and came across some good finds. As always when I come across a new antique shop I ask if they have any coins, coin related stuff or paper money and they said they didn't have any coins but an elderly lady had dropped off some foreign paper money in a ziplock for consignment and I asked to see it. It had alot of Asian currency some Latin America currency and a good bit of WW2 rations. I know nothing of any of this so I asked how much and they said they were not sure because it was just dropped off the day before and was asked to make an offer. I'll say this, I am not a big currency collector and I definalty do not know much about foreign money or rations so I asked them to contact the lady if possible and see what she wanted for it and so they did. $10 is all she asked for this lot, I did not have internet access where I was so I took a chance on the paper money and $10 is not a risk. The wife came across a walking stick that had some little badges on it we asked how much he said $10 for it also so we bought it for the cool factor and come to find out they are called walking stick tins and are collectable. Each one go for $8-15 each and there is 33 tins. All and all a pretty good trip and we will be going back again soon.[ATTACH=full]1149863[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1149865[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1149866[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1149867[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1149877[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1149878[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1149880[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
